In reply to Mr. Davis argument in favor

In reply to Mr.. Davis argument in favor
of the election of United States Senator,
Mr.. Lucas says: "Mr. Davis views upon
the guage Of railroad or the terminal IA
cilities of steamboat wharf might and no
doubt would be, of interest, but not being
lawyer his views on constitutional law have
neither value nor weight"
But Mr.. Lucas does not hesitate to hold
and express an opinion of his own concern
ing the resources of wealth of West Vir-
ginia and combats the proposition of Mr..
Davis on that point What would he think
if Mr.. Davis should tell Mr.. Lucas that on
Constitutional law Mr.. Lucas views might,
without doubt, be of interest, but that on
all other subjects in which good, practical
sense is essential it is presumption for him
to have an opinion?
1t is absurd to intimate that a mans
opinion on Constitutional law is without
Interest because he is not a constitution
al lawyer. Accept that and what becomes
of the judgment of Col. Chew and other
farmers and practical business men mot
lawyers in the Legislature, when they are
called upon to decide the constitutional
question as to whether OR not Senator
shall be elected at the special session =?
Must Col. Chew just take the ipse DIRT of
Col. Beckwith and vote accordingly-sim-
ply because Col. Beckwith is q lawyer and
presumed to know constitutional law
